“Attention Car 69, we have a 10-66 at your location please respond.” the radio squawked as the dispatcher announced our number. “10-4 Dispatch, Officer Newbie and I can take it.” Lt. Rick Newton responded. Officer Jennifer Raines turned her head as she rolled her eyes. She had pulled training duty with Rick the Dick, as all the female officers called him. Why she had to have the Easter Holiday with him was beyond her. There had been perverted remarks all morning. Newton was protected, so reporting only would hurt her career. She had to just bear out a few more hours. “Well Raines, looks like we get to stretch our legs a bit in the park.” They pulled along the parking area for the Basketball courts. “How do we even know this is legit?” she asked. “Legit or not, we have to respond. Could be worse, could be over in the poor section of town.” They exited the plain sedan that Newton drove as his work vehicle and walked toward the court. “Hey, look there Raines.” She saw him motioning to a homeless woman pushing her cart along the path. She had picked up some objects and placed them in her cart as she shuffled along.

“Ma’am!” Newton yelled, “Ma’am, we’re the police please stop.” Hannah didn’t wait; she started running as fast as her old legs would carry her. Newton began chasing her. Officer Raines was moving, but not very fast. She knew the old woman was harmless. She did a welfare check on Hannah last week with her regular training officer. “Hannah! Wait!” she called to the woman. Hannah did look and see the pretty young woman that was in uniform, then she saw the man, his hulking frame was gaining on her. He had his hand on his gun. That was all it took for Hannah to make a decision to stay away from him. She wheeled her cart around and pushed it for all she was worth and then headed down a side path. She fell and rolled down the hill disappearing in the overgrowth along the path at the bottom. The cart headed toward Lt. Newton and turned over just as it neared him. He tried to jump over, but hit his shin as he jumped and tumbled down onto the cart with thud. Jenny moved by him trying not to smirk. “You okay?” “Yes, just get the old biddie!” he waved her on. She stopped and looked down the hill and saw nothing of Hannah. She turned and headed back to help her superior up. He grabbed a feel of her ass as she did. “What a Dick.” she thought as they gathered Hannah items and cart.

Trying to stay quiet and catch her breath, Hannah lay in the bushes. Her heart was pounding in her ears. No sounds of anyone chasing her were heard. She relaxed and lay her head down as her body ached. As the adrenaline eased off she was in so much pain. She passed out for a bit. When she came to, her entire body hurt. She had scrapes and bruises all over. She crawled out and made her way to the closest bench. She checked her coat. She still had her ID & some cash. Maybe enough for bus fare to the closest shelter. She knew she needed attention. Falls at her age were dangerous, she was homeless, not stupid. “Ma’am? Are you alright?” Hannah looked up and saw a handsome young gentleman standing over her. He had kind eyes, but she could see he was worried for her. “I just fell down the hill. Come sit, keep an old woman company for a bit” she said as she patted the bench beside her. With luck, maybe she could convince him to give her some money. The young man sat down. He was around thirty years old. His face was strong and he had a nice frame on him. If she were just a bit younger, he would have been just her type. “Hey, what is this?” he said as he picked up an egg off the ground. “Not sure, been seeing lots of them eggs around the park today. Before she could reach her hand to touch it the egg cracked open. The shell dissolved and in the young man’s hand was a glittering chick. Before they could say anything or respond it exploded in a shower of golden dust covering mainly Hannah.

Max sat stunned. He couldn’t quite remember why he was sitting in the park. A few hours earlier, he had been at the Sunrise Service with his fiancee. As they were leaving, she had dumped him, told him he was pathetic and that she had decided to just move on. He had been wandering the park ever since. Was that right? It seemed wrong. As Max sat there he looked over and saw the most beautiful woman ever. She was probably late twenties. Her hair was such a deep color of Black that it had a rich shine to it. It fell straight down behind her. Piercing green eyes were looking at him in a lost kind of way. Her skin was just a shade of white as to not be porcelain white. She wore a plain white Tee Shirt. Her bra could be seen as an outline underneath. The size C Breasts were just right for her body. All that tapered into a waist that showcased amazing hips and long legs that were clothed in tight blue jeans. Her pastel blue Converse finished the look. Max released the breath he had been holding. “Hannah?” he asked.

She heard him say her name. Confusion overwhelmed her as she tried to remember who he was. Memories were rewritten. She was no longer the eighty year old homeless woman that had run from the police just hours ago. She was Hannah. This was Max. They were engaged to be married. Her life adjusted. Her hard life as a widower and later a homeless person was changed to make her younger. She was orphaned, grew up working hard until she was able to make a life for herself. She had met Max and fell in love. As her mind caught up to her new reality. She felt her hand in his. They leaned towards each other and shared a kiss. Hand in hand they left the park, soon they would arrive at his parents house and announce their engagement. The last bit of magic finished as a gorgeous diamond ring appeared on her finger.
